Test your knowledge on one of the world's earliest and most advanced urban cultures, right here in ancient India.
The Harappan Civilization, which flourished primarily between 2600 BCE and 1900 BCE, spanned an area larger than ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia combined, covering over 1.25 million square kilometers across present-day Pakistan, northwestern India, and northeastern Afghanistan. Within this vast territory, over a thousand settlements have been identified, including major urban centers like Dholavira, Rakhigarhi, Lothal, and Kalibangan in modern-day India.
Harappan cities were distinguished by sophisticated urban planning, featuring grid-patterned streets that intersected at right angles and a remarkable system of covered drainage and sanitation, with individual homes often connected to public sewers. This advanced infrastructure and the consistent use of standardized baked bricks across many sites suggest a highly organized society. The civilization also engaged in extensive trade, with archaeological evidence pointing to connections as far as Mesopotamia.
